You can choose and configure the location (disk/partition) on which you want to install your old macOS version. This can be done from the installer on the USB drive. It has features like Disk Utility built in to it. But I like to plan ahead. I started Disk Utility before using the USB stick to create a new partition on an external USB SSD for my new Yosemite instance to live, as you can see here:

I went crazy creative and named my new partition… “Yosemite” 😉 . You can also create partitions on your internal drive for installing your older version of macOS. Just be sure you have enough room.
Installing the old macOS version
旧手表 - Old Watch Mac Os Download</h2><p>It’s time to install the old version of macOS. </p><ul><li>Make sure your bootable USB drive is inserted into an available USB slot and is mounted. If mounted, you’ll see it in <strong>Finder</strong> as I showed previously.</li></ul><ul><li>Restart your Mac. When you hear the Apple “chime” sound, immediately hold down the <strong>option (⌥)</strong> key so that your Mac will bring up the <strong>Startup Manager</strong>. This feature shows you all your Mac’s bootable media. Remember all the business we went through to download <strong>Install OS X Yosemite.app</strong> and then used the <code>createinstallmedia</code> command? Choose the bootable disk labelled “Install OS X Yosemite” by clicking on that drive icon once (which <em>selects</em> it). Once selected, the bootable drive has an arrow pointing to it. Click the arrow to boot into <strong>Install OS X Yosemite</strong> as you can see immediately below:</li></ul><center><small><em>Click to enlarge</em></small></center><br><ul><li>Your Mac will think for a little bit:</li></ul><center><small><em>Click to enlarge</em></small></center><br><ul><li><strong>Install OS X Yosemite.app</strong> will start up.

If you run into problems, not only can you use those utilities, but you can look at the output from the installer itself.

Remember we installed the <strong>base</strong> version of Yosemite (10.10), and these OS’s almost always have updates and patches (e.g., 10.10.5). I suggest you install all OS X updates recommended to you by the Mac App Store.</p><h4>Wrapping up</h4><p>You’ve got a new operating system installed. Pretty cool. Remember the complexity of an install can depend on which version of OS X you installed. You may have issues with older ones. But, then again, look at High Sierra. Lots of people had problems with installing it. Leave a comment if you need help. I’ll do my best.</p><p>Enjoy!</p><div>#ad</div><ul><li><p>Latest Version:</p><p>MPlayerX 1.1.4 Build 1920 <span>LATEST</span></p></li><li><p>Requirements:</p><p>Mac OS X</p></li><li><p>Author / Product:</p><p><span>Zongyao QU</span> / MPlayerX for Mac</p></li><li><p>Old Versions:</p></li><li><p>Filename:</p><p>MPlayerX-1.1.4-1920.zip</p></li><li><p>MD5 Checksum:</p><p>595ccbd974d7b5d77eb50602a2dec217</p></li><li><p>Details:</p><p>MPlayerX for Mac 2021 full offline installer setup for Mac</p></li></ul><div><strong>MPlayerX</strong> is an open-source project under GPLv2, which aims to be the most powerful, beautiful, easy to use <strong>multimedia player</strong> on Mac OS X.
